Business As Usual?

The more things change, pass the beer nuts.

In the great scheme of trying to get more rest I have moved back out into the living room this week. To recap, we co-sleep with Julia which means we all pile in the king size bed and I end up not sleeping enough. I'm generally a light sleeper and when she's sick I wake up 6 times a night. So for the last 4 days I've been catching up, which has worked. Today I could have slept more but all in all I'm getting some much needed rest this week, just in time for the trails to be unridable this weekend.

Yesterday was a mess. My car, which Walter has not stolen, died on the way to work when I hit a puddle. So I ended up sitting in the dead car waiting first for the police, then for the tow truck. The police came and pushed me into a side street then the tow truck eventually got there and charged me $80 for the tow back to the house. Eventually my neighbor and I were able to get it started again and I made it to the train station this morning in one piece.

We had some sponsor confusion yesterday as well which was a real headache for a while. Work was particularly annoying for some reason I can't put my finger on. And when I went to adjust the saddle of the new road bike I snapped the seat clamp bolt. What a day. I did finish stripping my full-suspension bike apart and remarkably my frame and rear shock only weigh 5.95 pounds. So why does the whole bike weigh 31.25 pounds again?

I got side-tracked reading his article so I won't be able to get to the saddle sore comments today. I need to track down Ben for that story.
